Resumo: | The intractable nature of inter-ethnic conflicts around the world has generally impacted critical developmental issues. The constant intervention by governments, international organizations, and local people over the decades has had minimum impact on the management of ethnic conflicts. This study examined the ethnic conflicts in the Northern Region of Ghana by focusing on the Bawku East Municipality ethnic conflict between the Kusasi and the Mamprusi and its impact on socio-economic development. It further examined the mediating methods used by the government over the past 20 years and the perception of local indigenes about the success of the methods. The study employed a sample size of 100 respondents to acquire primary data through the distribution of questionnaires in 6 communities Sagabo, Natinga, Sabongari, Possum, Azanga, and Gingande. The mixed research method was used to collect and analyze the data. Key findings were that Politics, Land ownership, and Chieftaincy were the key contributing factors to the Bawku East Municipality ethnic conflict in the Northern Region. To complete this, socio-economic development could be realized in Bawku East Municipality if the mediating methods recommended by the local indigenes are well executed. This approach will lessen the mistrust between the Kusasi and the Mamprusi and consequently lead to a peaceful environment that will accelerate the socio-economic development of Bawku East Municipality (BEM). |

A intervenção constante de governos, organizações internacionais e populações locais ao longo das décadas teve um impacto mínimo na gestão de conflitos étnicos. Este estudo examinou os conflitos étnicos na região norte de Gana, concentrando-se no conflito étnico do município leste de Bawku entre os Kusasi e os Mamprusi e seu impacto no desenvolvimento socioeconômico. Examinou ainda os métodos de mediação usados pelo governo nos últimos 20 anos e a percepção dos indígenas locais sobre o sucesso dos métodos. O estudo empregou uma amostra de 100 respondentes para adquirir dados primários através da distribuição de questionários em 6 comunidades Sagabo, Natinga, Sabongari, Possum, Azanga e Gingande. O método de pesquisa mista foi usado para coletar e analisar os dados. As principais descobertas foram que a política, a propriedade da terra e a chefia foram os principais fatores que contribuíram para o conflito étnico do município leste de Bawku na região norte. Para completar, o desenvolvimento socioeconômico pode ser realizado no município de Bawku East se os métodos de mediação recomendados pelos indígenas locais forem bem executados. Essa abordagem diminuirá a desconfiança entre os Kusasi e os Mamprusi e, consequentemente, levará a um ambiente pacífico que acelerará o desenvolvimento socioeconômico do município de Bawku East (BEM).2023-03-07T13:19:56Z2023-02-08T00:00:00Z2023-02-082023-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/28225TID:203222725eng978-989-781-805-9Donkor, Josephinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:33:45Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/28225Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:15:14.312207Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
